It is time to indulge in a little healthy recollection. Let me take you back to a sweltering June day. I was visiting a good friend in Somerset and we had taken a trip to the Bishop’s Palace in Wells. The gardens were bountiful, seemingly not suffering from the unfamiliar sultry weather. From the herbaceous borders to the vegetable gardens all was lush and lovely. There were enough other visitors to make it a sociable occasion but not too many to be intrusive. The heat ensured meandering rather than rushing, enforcing a more leisurely tempo and therefore a more enjoyable journey. Afterwards we rested at the edge of the wide rill, that fed from the spring to the moat, and dangled our appreciative feet in the cool water. Perfect.

After such a pleasant but nonetheless wintry day, I appreciate a moment to be reminded of something more summery.
Now could you please say something a bit sassier just so I know you are okay?

Okay, that’s much better; but you are not letting me down. You can write any way you like. I know better than to argue about it.

Thank you for reminding me that Summers do exist, this time of year the doubts set in-was it just a dream?
